i agree kerra ridge has so much potential, but its just horrible, that zone
is just hilarious, some of my friends wanted a paw (damn druids) and while
we were bored waiting for her to spawn, we would cause trains, just to
myself i looted 31 catpeople, and think about this, we're not aggro to them,
but think about a level 18 group trying to reach mitty. They'd get their
butts kicked so bad. You pull one cat at lower level and the whole place
comes. They need to fix aggro range or pathing or linkage or whatever it
is, this zone is just horrible right now, and yet its a very cool zone
